Edith is the perfect opposite of a young horse that Peter Crosby would've bought to expand his string of prodigies: she's rather small, a little skittish and extremely sensitive to basically everything. She doesn't like being touched, can't work well with bits or too much pressure, bolts when confronted with sudden loud sounds and apparently doesn't like bright sunlight either. Of course Angela would buy the young mare, stubbornly determined to do the exact opposite of what her father would do.
Despite her insecurities, Edith is a terrific jumper. When let loose, she loves to jump and shines with a promising technique. Her gaits are soft and elastic, her movement effortless. 

She's been lightly backed in 2018 and started to jump in 2019. She's recently done her first shows, however her skittish and fussy nature is of no help in the arena. She is easily frightened when worked off-property and yet has big problems concentrating. Her balance and jumping, however is solid for a horse her age. When at ease, she is an attentive, almost overly sensitive riding horse and she has a natural drive towards jumps.
